That's a very harsh take. Most of us would not be alive by the end of the century to personally witness or attend the 1000 years of the University of Bologna, but that goes enough to say how ancient these institutions are: meaning their role obviously changed over time.
Historically, universities BECAME bastions of truth and knowledge, particularly with the introduction of Alexander von Humboldt's ideas for research. And that was already happening by the mid-end of the 19th century. You can not seek seriously truth and knowledge before the establishment of serious metrics and research methodology.
What's the problem if a site is vibecoded? We will be seeing it more often, I recon. Let's get used to it. On the other hand, perhaps a disclaimer is in order.
As a neurologist I read often imaging findings myself. However, one ability of the radiologists I appreciate is their ability to discern through artifacts by years of experience. I am not convinced the current AI crop can reach this level of discerning yet. But I am pretty sure they will reach us and surpass us there as well.
For the moment, I would prefer the final opinion always to be from a human (the human-in-the-loop approach in medicine). Best course of action is to run these LLM assessments and bring them to the next appointment and challenge constructively the doctor.
Original iPhone presentation vibes! Maybe the technology is mature enough now for a prime product, although at around $2200 still expensive for the average consumer.
Probably this category of mental tasks. For politicians it's the other way around. Prolly you need to have some 'elder statesman' skills as well as wisdom to achieve greatness. Deng Xiaoping (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping) started changing China at the venerable age of 70+ moving forward until his death almost two decades later.
Do not underestimate wisdom as a cognitive skill, even if in today's world we tend to discredit it because of agism.
This reminds me of the analogy of the smoking grandpa. I had a grandpa that was chainsmoking his whole life and managed to reach 90 and died of other causes. This does not mean smoking is "relatively safe".
No offense, but if feels to me the author writes this piece to convince himself. I am afraid he is right. But the bottom line is the same: vibe coding, agenting engineering, everything AI-related comes for our jobs.
The lake is not however yours to dictate how others will move along. Imagine if the horse owners decided in such an analogy not to allow cars on the road because they noisy and "totally different experience".
You want a pre-AI experience? Feel free to code without it. It's definitely still doable.
And so it begins. First they blame, then they lie, at some point they launch the nuclear warheads to a global armageddon. Sarah Connor was right all along! :3
"Finnish saunas, which are typically heated to between 70°C and 110°C (158°F to 230°F) and have low humidity, are the most well-studied. Regular use has been linked with many physical benefits – a lower risk of hypertension, muscular problems and respiratory conditions, for instance. But now researchers are starting to unveil cognitive benefits, too. These improvements include fewer headaches, increased mental well-being, better sleep and a lower risk of dementia."
Your best friend or sibling or partner can possibly understand whatever you mumble without being offended, but it adds to ambiguity and errors or misunderstandings. That's why learning to write in bulletproof structured English decreases this danger. Thankfully, the same is desired for LLMs, even if they can catch most unimportant (spelling) errors.
It definitely helps with expressing oneself in good "structured English" (or whatever natural language you speak). In my humble opinion, this is exactly the future of programming so it is worth it to invest some time and also learn how natural language processing if functioning.
However something should be clear here: the author mentions the UI guidelines from 1992. These are not current. And definitely not some kind of permanent law.
